Protect access to reproductive health care in Illinois

A new measure, House Bill 40, affirms our state’s commitment to ensuring access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion. Without the protections guaranteed by this bill, Illinois law could revert back to pre-Roe days when abortion was criminalized. Tell your state representative to support the bill here

ACLU of Illinois

The ACLU of Illinois has been the principal protector of constitutional rights in the state since its founding in 1929.

The ACLU of Illinois (ACLU), and its affiliated Roger Baldwin Foundation (RBF), are non-partisan, non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting the liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the state Constitution, and state/federal human rights laws. The ACLU accomplishes its goals through litigating, lobbying and educating the public on a broad array of civil liberties issues.

The RBF, the tax-deductible arm of the ACLU of Illinois, was separately incorporated in 1969, allowing the organization to greatly expand its litigation and educational programs. As a result, the ACLU not only has been able to substantially increase the number of cases it litigates, but also to pursue complex, high-impact cases.
